Patented Feb. 7, 1933 UNITED STATES SALVATOR cnrALU AND-ANDREW CEFALU,or BROOKLYN, NEW YORK PERMANENT .wnvn DEVICE Application filed April 26,1932. Serial No. 60?,606.

This invention relates to permanent wave devices.

Our present invention is an improvement on the waving device shown inPatent No. 1,850,789 and is designed to produce a permanent wave of anatural type. The embodiment of the present invention is also simplerthan the apparatus shown in the mentioned patent and also embodies novelmeans for securing the hair to the device.

The invention will be fully and comprehensively understood from aconsideration of the following detailed description when read inconnection with the accompanying drawing which forms part of theapplication with the understanding, however, that the improvement iscapable of extended application and is not confined to the exact showingof the drawing nor to the precise construction described-and, therefore,such changes and modifications may be made therefrom as do not affectthe spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed inthe appended claims.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the device, the easing being partly brokenaway.

Fig. 2 is an elevational view, partly in section. of the device shown inFig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detailed view of an end portion of the device removed fromthe casing, this view being partly in section and showing the hairassociated with the device for waving purposes.

Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 3; and

Fig. 5 is a section taken on'the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawing for a more detailed description thereof, thedevice comprises a plurality of parallel bars or rods 7 adjacent barsbeing connected by transverse members 8 which may be, and preferablyare, 4 integral with the bars 7. The mentioned bars and connectingmembers 8 thus form a single element. The hair is wound in oppositedirections on adjacent bars, as shown in Fig. 1. and is held to saidbars by means of clamping sleeves 9 open at one side, as indicated bythe numeral 10, the open sides of adjacent sleeves being in oppositepositions, as clearlyshown in Fig. 4. The end bars 7 are shorter thanthe corresponding intermediate bars, as shown in Fig.1, and these-endbars have hollow extensions 11 extending at right angles thereto andaccommodate bushings 12. Said bushings have flanges 'l3' at their outerends and said flanges abut against the ends of the extensions 11andare'held'in place by screws 14' which threadedly engage the inner endportions of. the bushings and are provided with heads 15 of greaterdiameter than the bushings in order to contactthe inner ends of theextensions and thereby hold the bushings in place. Tapered terminals 16,having slots 17 formed lengthwise therein, are provided with stems 18which are each rotatable in only one direction within their respectivebushings 12, said stems 18 carrying pins 19-which pass diametricallytherethrough and are bent at their ends and pointed, as shown in Fig. 5in order to allow the terminals to be turned in only one direc- 7 tion.the interiors of the bushings being preferably roughened where thesharpened ends of the pins contact them.

- The hair to be waved is preferably secured to each of the terminals.as shown in Fig. 3. by means of a string or cord 21 secured to the hairand to the terminal. the string or cord being wound around theterminaland passing through the slot 17 therein. By turning the terminals 16until the ends of the hair are adjacent thereto, the strings 21 beingthereby wound around the terminals, said ends will be held in positionon the device.

After the hair has been properly positioned and clamped on the device. adampor wet flannel is preferably wrapped around the same and a casing23. having an electric heating element 24 at the top and bottom thereof.is placed over the device on which the hair is positioned, said casingcarrying a heat regulating knob as shown in Fig. 2, i there being a dial26 under and adjacent the knob 25 to indicate the degree of heatdeveloped in the device when the knob is in particular position.

What is claimed is:

\l- A permanent Wave device comprising a series of bars, clampingsleeves on said bars and terminals on the end bars of the series,

5 said terminals each comprising a member rotatable only in onedirection and adapted to hold fastening means.

2. A permanent Wave device comprising a series of connected, parallelbars, clamping V sleeves on said bars and terminals-on the end bars ofthe series, said terminals each comprising a member rotatable only inone direction and adapted to hold fastening means.

3; A permanent Wave device comprising a series of bars, clamping sleeveson said bars I and terminals on the endbars of the series,

7 said terminals each comprising a member rotatable only in onedirection and adapted to hold fastening means, a casing for said barsand electric heating means within said cas- 4. A permanent Wave devicecomprising a series of bars, open-sided clamping sleeves on said barsand terminals on the end bars of the series, said terminals eachcomprising a member rotatable only in one direction and 7 adapted tohold fastening means.

In testimony whereof we hereby affix our signatures. 7 SALVAT OR CEFALU.
